The
Eisner Award-winning team of Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin are the folks
behind THE PRIVATE EYE, and the new Image series the BARRIER. It's an
unconventional drama about violence, language, and illegal immigration...with a
shocking sci-fi twist. After debuting on PanelSyndicate.com, this critically
acclaimed five-part miniseries finally comes to print, exclusively from Image
Comics. After making the massive, 50-plus-page first issue available to mature
readers for FREE on Free Comic Day, this special collector's edition of the
first issue is being released in a larger size to match the next four issues
being released WEEKLY throughout the rest of May! Printed in its original
"landscape" format (side-stapled for convenient shelving!) and graced with
gorgeous cardstock covers, each comic is meant to be a durable work of art, and
there are no plans for these print issues to ever be collected, so the only way
to own your own copies of this groundbreaking story is by supporting your
friendly neighborhood comic shop like Alternate Reality!
